- Is the directory specific to your area or industry?
- Does it look like it has real traffic, for example do you expect to get people visiting your website from the directory?
- Does it have a high Domain Authority?
Of course, this process can be time-consuming, that’s why we’re committing to regularly curating the list of the Top 20 UK-based business directories by Domain Authority. To arm you with even more info, we’ve made a note of their estimated monthly traffic using SEMRush including the percentage of that traffic that originates in the UK.
Are listings on business directories still important?
How much effort or time should you invest in listing your business on the top business directories?
Whitespark announced the results of its Local Search Ranking Factors survey 2020 recently and the findings suggest the influence of such citations are not as important as they once were. They have slipped to the equal-sixth factor, while Google My Business and online reviews were considered first and second.
